AN EMBROIDERED APRON

FIG. 4.—Now that the child has gained more control over the muscles, a smaller needle may be
used, and finer sewing learned. The first article should be simple. An apron is a good choice,
as the seams are short and the decoration keeps the work from becoming monotonous. Choice
of materials should be left entirely to the child. If the choice later be found to be unsuitable
more will be learned from the mistake than from advice.
